You'll find one of north Zante's best beaches – plus a charming coastal village and quiet countryside – at your fingertips during holidays to Alykes.
Rustic beauty
Away from the noise of bustling crowds and busy resorts, Alykes – located on the Ionian Island of Zante – is a peaceful, friendly town brimming with authentic Greek charm. There's even a free horse-drawn carriage that will take you to the local taverna for a real taste of old-world Greece.
Fun for all
The area's three-kilometre golden beach is divided in two – Alykes and Alykanas. Shallow waters and soft sands make the stretch a paradise for families, with Alykanas a little more appealing for watersports enthusiasts. Sunloungers and umbrellas are available for hire all over, and seafront tavernas serve up traditional Greek fare all day.
Action-packed afternoon
Zante Town's about a 25-minute drive away and chock full of museums, landmarks and ruins to tire out even the most determined history buff. Snap share-worthy shots of the Venetian castle, then settle in at a café to relax over a sweet Greek coffee.
